There are two things going on that are probably wrong: 1. We hide ignored disks and devices that require them before deactivating all devices we found in the system to begin with. This means we won't deactivate devices that use any ignored disks. 2. We shouldn't be hiding devices that build on both ignored disks and non-ignored disks. Instead, those devices should appear as incomplete or degraded, since that will be the case if the user wipes one of the disks.
I can also add that this was done with a working kickstart and was going from a working software raid system {sda;sdb} to a single disk setup {sda}. Don't know if coming from software raid is important but that seems to be when this crops up. As going from a different single disk setup I did not hit the bug again.
Discussed at 2013-05-29 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-29/f19final-blocker-review-1.2013-05-29-16.02.log.txt . Note: kickstart issues are still being evaluated on a case-by-case basis as we still didn't get around to writing criteria beyond the very basic one we have in Beta. In the end we decided to reject this as a blocker, with the input of dlehman: he considers that we don't undertake to work with absolutely every messy configuration people manage to throw at us via kickstart. This is triggered by 'ignoring' parts of a multi-disk device (mdraid set, LVM VG, btrfs volume...) via the kickstart ignoredisk command, so the workaround is not to do that, or to clean up your multi-disk devices before throwing them at anaconda. However, it's accepted as a freeze exception issue: we think it would be good to get a fix for this into F19 final if possible.
